THOMAS P. I. MAGrOUN,l OF BATH, MAINE.

PIANO-sTooL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 286,457, dated October 9, 1883.

Appui-,atan meu .my 16,1883. (N0 muriel.)

To all whomt may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS P. I. MAGOUN, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Bath, in the county of Sagadahoc and State of Maine, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements in Piano-Stools; and I do hereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, and eX- act description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters orflgures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure l. is a side elevation of my improved piano-stool, the seats being shown close together. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the same parts, showing the seatsseparated for two persons. Fig. 3 is a top view with one of the seats removed, but indicated in dotted lines.

30 justed apart, as shown inFigs. 2 and 3.' The seats are upholstered on solid boards or frames of suitable sizewhich are movable on the frame of the stool. Along the middle of the width of the seat frame I nia-ke grooves a, which receive a rib, o', formed on a narrow bar, C, which is rigidly secured at the top of the frame A. The rib a prevents the cushions from lateral displacement, but allows them to and secured to the top of the frame A, parallel to each other; but I have found that a single bar will answer the purpose.

It is obvious from the foregoing that I have a stool which will afford comfortable seats for two persons, and that its parts can be adjusted together, so as to\ form a compact seat for only one person. Y n

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A piano-stool supporting-frame having the ribbed bar' C, in combination with two adjustable seats having grooves to receive the rib on bar C, the guides E, and set-screws, all constructed and adapted to be operated substantially as described.

2. The combination of the rigid rectangular frame with the two horizontally-sliding seats B B, and means for confining the same to said frame, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
